This is a longitudinal study of the long-term health impact of e-cigarette smoking on the lungs. Participants will be followed over a period of 5 years, and impacts of e-cigarette smoking on the lungs will be measured with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using hyperpolarized xenon-129 gas, pulmonary function tests, exercise …
The overall purpose of this study is to evaluate cardiopulmonary toxicity in patients with lung cancer (NSCLC or SCLC) undergoing combined thoracic radiotherapy ± chemotherapy and immunotherapy through timed monitoring and blood sample collection and to identify correlative biomarkers for predicting cardiopulmonary adverse events.
This Phase I/II study evaluates the safety and efficacy of autologous tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) therapy combined with Pembrolizumab (Keytruda) immunotherapy in patients with advanced or metastatic refractory lung cancer. Lifileucel (Amtagvi), the first FDA-approved TIL therapy, has demonstrated significant success in treating unresectable or metastatic melanoma by utilizing the patient's …
Background and aim: Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is the gold standard of lung cancer staging, yet up to 15% of procedures produce inadequate samples for definite diagnosis or staging. In such cases, more invasive surgical procedures are usually considered. Fluid collected during EBUS-TBNA is centrifuged to produce a …
The purpose of this study is to look at how safe 89Zr-DFO-SC16.56 is, and how it is processed by the body in people with small cell lung cancer.
Lungs are made up of individual lobes. When a lung cancer tumour is detected in one of these lobes, surgeons typically perform a Lobectomy. A Lobectomy is the surgery most commonly done to treat early-stage lung cancer and requires removal of an entire lobe of the lung, which removes a …
Pemetrexed is one of the first-line chemotherapeutic agents for non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Since 2017, intrathecal pemetrexed has shown good efficacy for patients with leptomeningeal metastases from NSCLC. It has been recommended as the preferred drug for intrathecal chemotherapy by the Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology (CSCO) guidelines. …
The objective of this research is to determine the accuracy of different types of lung transthoracal needle aspiration (TTNA) i.e. jabbing-then-suction, suction-with-jabbing, and suction-only TTNA in patients with suspected lung cancer. Researchers will compare these techniques to determine whether there are any quality differences in the obtained tumor samples
The goal of this pilot trial is to learn whether the use of cryo nerve block and its effect on sensation in the chest alters recovery after bilateral lung transplantation, and to which extent these parameters are influenced. As this study is setup as a pilot study, the main questions …
Respiratory morbidity presents a significant clinical challenge in the neonatal period, and an individual patient's clinical course is often difficult to predict. This is especially true for late-preterm infants, who share some of the same risks of premature babies in terms or respiratory morbidity, but whose births may not always …
